Katha Dance Theatre’s Indian dance-dramas transport audiences to another world. It is a joy to experience the elegance in their productions, choreographic precision, and artistic integrity. Furthermore, their ability to string together current themes in an ancient art form is extremely courageous and praiseworthy.

The Katha dance group are very spiritual people and have a really calming effect on the participants. I’ve noticed that they do vary their approach depending on client reaction. They are really able to keep the clients engaged and interested, even some clients who normally
don’t participate in this type of activity. They demonstrated dance and showed what each movement means. They explained how their stories are handed down the generations through dance.

The dances were very beautiful and I enjoyed the rhythms, hand and body expressions and music. What we see in the movies is very different from these historical northern Indian dances … Thanks for all your work in keeping your culture alive and sharing it with other cultures.
